Jay-Z will never permit a chubby Beyonce to slide underneath his covers. And for that, she is lucky.

The benefits of having Jay as a husband are far-reaching. He’s a genius; he’s got a goofy laugh; and he likes red wine. Oh, and he produces music that evokes every emotion possible. On his most recent gift to mankind, he’s shaped his tunes to fit every workout possible. Thus, with him by her side, Beyonce will always be ‘working it out’. And so will we.

According to Hip hop heads/aficionados/gurus, Blueprint 3 is only “pretty good”.  As the resident fitness head/aficionado/guru, I disagree. Blueprint 3 is more than pretty good. It is the best workout CD Jay Z has dropped. There’s a song for every intensity, modality, to suit every BODY.

Here are the 5 best workout songs on Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3:

1. A Star Is Born is best for sauntering in and out of the gym.
2. D. O. A. is best for getting pumped up. “Oh my gawd, I’m about to burn a hole in this treadmill, the whole gym ’bout to wonder who I am and how many medals I have won.” Or something like that.
3. On To the Next One featuring Swizz Beats is best for anything that requires power, speed, and lungs. Read: box jumps, burpees, sprint intervals, hill repeats.
4. So Ambitious featuring Pharell is best for easy running; intervals on the elliptical; and booty-building stair stepping.
5. Venus vs. Mars is best for stretching. And other things I won’t reveal here.

What do you say? What ONE album has a plethora of songs suitable for exercising?
